GRID Alternatives San Diego has succeeded in using free solar panels donated by Sullivan Solar Power to complete their 500th installation on the home of Carolyn Buchanan.

"With prices of gas and food going up, I'm not going to have extra money but it is going to make things easier," said Buchanan, a retired postal worker.

"Like other nonprofits, we rely on donations to do our work," said Paul Cleary, Regional Director of GRID Alternatives San Diego, "We are grateful to have the support of Sullivan Solar Power, who donated the panels for Ms. Buchanan's home through our partnership."
